This is a sturdy office chair from the early-to-middle part of the 1900s.Probably for an executive, as it was covered with leather. When I bought it in the late 1970s, the seat leather was in such poor condition that I had it recovered. You can recognize those "earth colors" of the era.The chair can tilt back, if you want it to. That's why I think it was a chair for an executive. I never saw a secretary who had a chair that tilted. (Secretaries had the chairs with the tiny back supports, if you are interested in things like that.)The chair also swivels, and, since it's on wheels, you can scoot around.It's in pretty good condition, but has wear to the leather, as you can see in the photo of the back of the chair. The white that you see along the edges means that there is no leather there, only a fiber to keep the shape of the edging. The seat cushion is based on springs (see a closeup). There is also a white mark on the wood of one arm, which I assume will come off.The wood may be walnut. It is definitely not oak (certainly not the quartersawn oak I see in some antique all-wood chairs). It doesn't have the color I associate with mahogany. Therein lies the extent of my knowledge. :-) If you think it's some other wood, please let me know.Measurements:Height of chair, including wheels: 35.5 inchesHeight of seat from ground: 17 inchesWidth of seat: 22 inchesDepth of seat (front to back): 22 inchesPick up or Shipping:You can pick it up here in St. Paul, Minnesota, or you can make arrangements for shipping via the freight of your choice. You make the arrangements and I will work with your carrier. I can deliver it to your carrier, if the carrier has an office within St. Paul or Minneapolis, or your carrier can pick it up. I do NOT know how much freight will cost to your city, so please don't ask me to give you an idea of the cost. Shipping will vary wildly depending upon who you pick, where you live, and whether you have a discount with the company. If you are interested in figuring it out, I have given you the measurements (see above). I don't know the weight of the chair, but I'll estimate under 50 pounds. If you need the weight, let me know. There is some site (sorry, can't remember the name) that is kind of like a college bulletin board, where you post what you want picked up, and where, and where you want it delivered to. If someone is going that way, they will respond. I've heard back that rates can be much less than with professional movers. As with anything else, you can get bids that are way too high.
